"Let It Burn" is a song by American singer Jazmine Sullivan. It was written by Sullivan and Key Wane for her third studio album Reality Show (2015), while production was helmed by the latter. The song is built around a sample of "Ready or Not" (1989) by American R&B group After 7. Due to the inclusion of the sample, its writer Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds is also credited as songwriter.

The song was released as the album's third single and became Reality Show' highest-charting offering, reaching number four on the Billboard Adult R&B Songs chart.[1] At the 58th Annual Grammy Awards, the song — along with its parent album — received two nominations in the categories for Best R&B Song and Best Traditional R&B Performance.[2] After 7 and Sullivan performed a mashup of "Let It Burn" and "Ready or Not" at the 2015 Soul Train Music Awards, celebrating fellow honoree Babyface.
